Have I lost touch with the  world  is living in  at this  moment as it seems  i must have old fashioned  way s.
Recently  I mentioned  that  a local based  Facebook Group called Holsworthy Mafia  and it's owner Andrew  that  I in my opinion  thought  so of thier posts were racist .Yes of course  I knew  I would  get feedback  but not to the  extent  of  disgusting  comments as Satire.I don't  know  thier definition of satire  but I would  not  put posts aimed  at the Muslim and Gypsy community along  the lines man praying in local field pemust be a Muslim why don't  you  go home  or man seen in town with  dodgy  Irish fifty pound notes ;lives in caravan  if seen  why not kick the shit out of  him perhaps I lost  touch  what  satire is or is this just  a way to hide behind  certain  view s.
I was not pleased  when  post it putility was put  on Holsworthy Mafia  and I said so to Facebook but  as usual  nothing  happens  but if was to post  about ufo; aliens :bigfoot, cryptozoology  it gets removed  hence why   hmm seems unfair.
Copyright  in have  in the past  done number of samples of books without  cof plaint. Until one  day  Spirit of Danumbers put a Takedown  on with  .Without  even  asking  nicely  for  me to remove  it.The stupid bit is if you  go to Amazon most  book s give you  a sample of  book  to read free so is that not a copyright  infringement.
Brexit is being  protrayed  very much in the negative with  no counter  details  or debate  or very  little  is this a ploy for as to think  we got  it wrong.satire
